JAS
39 Gripen

Acrobatics at the speed of sound

JAS
39 Gripen is a multi-role/swing-role
combat aircraft developed by SAAB.

It is designed to cope with the high demands
put on fighters in future air combat environments. The delta wing and canards
combination gives Gripen
excellent flying properties as well as short take-off
and landing characteristics. Pilot workload is reduced by an advanced avionics
system, leaving more time for tactical decision making.

As the first in the new
generation of fighter aircraft, Gripen entered operational service with the
Swedish Air Force 1997. It has also been chosen by the South African, Hungarian
and Czech Air Forces.

JAS 39

been involved in several advanced software development projects connected to JAS 39 Gripen and
